Northern Michigan Events: A Spanish wine dinner at The Bay Leaf in downtown Traverse City marks Traverse, Northern Michigan's Magazine's and US Wine Imports' first collaboration on a foodie event.

Spearheaded by Tim Tebeau, food and wine editor for Traverse, Northern Michigan's Magazine and wine distributor for US Wine Imports, "Local Food, Global Wine" is a new collaborative effort which aims to represent Northern Michigan as an international food and wine destination.
